The second in a series of films by Dominic Gill, Take A Seat Sharing a Ride Across America demonstrates his proven platform of using tandem bicycles as a way to include people who would otherwise be able to in the sort of once-in-a-lifetime adventure rarely undertaken. In this particular series Dominic takes 10 persons with varying physical disabilities on specially designed recumbent tandem bicycle in a relay across the United States. Gill’s documentary style is shot with two JVCCHM100 HD cameras, one stationed on the bicycle itself. This program focuses on authenticity not only through the directors commitment to completing the journey as if it was not even being filmed but also through turning the camera on the crew itself to demonstrate the difference between those in the support role and those participating in the adventure itself.
Filmed summer/fall 2010 and airing on Universal Sports April 4th, 2011
